Modify SunSpider and jsc test shell to add a parsing only test suite

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Adam Treat]

Hi,

Currently the SunSpider test driver lacks an option to run a test suite that will test parsing performance only.  Attached you'll find a patch that adds just such a test suite and option to SunSpider and the jsc test shell.  I've included three large javascript source files found in the wild: jquery, mootools and prototype.  Together and combined with the concatenation of all three, these form a new testsuite to measure and test pure parsing performance.

Cheers.

This shouldn't add new commandline arguments to jsc unless they have general case value.

I would make the parser test be
parser.js:
checkSyntax("parser-test-sources.js")

The patch landed in http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/44870 works correctly, but if you run WebKitTools/Scripts/run-sunspider, it doesn't pass the --parse-only parameter to SunSpider/sunspider script.
